Changes Made
In Library
During tlic summer months,
members of tlie library staff eff
ected several changes and made
considerable progress on projects
already underway. The most ob
vious alteration is tlie furnishing
of the space formerly used as an
auditorium. All books classified
“PZ” through “Z” are now shel
ved in tills area.
In addition, study carrels are
provided for tlie individual student.
This room is reserved for tlie per
son who needs a quiet retreat for
complete concentration.
The reclassification of tlie books
from Dewey to die Library of
Congress system progressed rap
idly. At tlie end of tlie summer
only books in die 800’s (Liter
ature) remained to be reclassi
fied. The library staff hopes to
have tliese completed by Christ
mas.
The library has compiled 15,-
261 books in die past twelve mon
ths. This about one-fourtii as manj'
volumes as are in the entire coll
ection.
Miss Susan Crane, Acquisitions
Librarian, and Miss Carroll Hicks,
cataloger, are two additions to die
library staff.
and Bill Redman, finishing
ninth and tenth respectively*
Forty-Niner thin-clads who fail
ed to make the top ten were Bucky
Weston, Bill Weatherly and Lynn
Griffin.
Mike Ridge said he felt “Pretty
good’’ about the team’s showing.
“We bunched three guys in the top
six and kept St. Andrews from
running away from us. They were
supposed to beat us pretty bad,
“he said.
“We have a lot of potential. Our
oldest man is only a junior. 1
think we’ll improve a lot as we
run more and more.”
Ridge also said the team is
looking forward to another match
at St. Andrews the second week in
October. This will be a three-
way match between Lynchburg Col
lege, St. Andrews, and Charlotte.
Last Friday’s overland duel was
to have been a three-way affair
but College of Charleston’s team
did not show up.
Snipes
Leaves
Squad
Robbie Snipes has been forced
to curtail his cross-coimtry par
ticipation due to poor circulation
in his legs.
“My legs are alrightfor tlie first
couple of miles,” said Snipes,
“But tlien tlie circulation gets
pretty bad and Uiey start to ache.
I’ve had tliis trouble for a long
time,” he added.
Coach Murpliy has advised Rob
bie to continue working on his
running, but at his own speed. It
is doubtful tliat he will be able to
rejoin tlie team.
Robbie has been replaced on tlie
cross-country team by Bill Red
man, who made tlie trip to Lau
rinburg in his place.
